Karaoke.

OP. It’s amazing how this WTF mishearing (umare —> mane) of the Japanese lyrics didn’t affect this English line here (ignore general derpiness). Otherwise it’s fine.

ED. As opposed to “Love.” Otherwise (kinda, sorta) fine in the strict accuracy sense, though you still get headscratchers like , “We share our joys and split our sorrows.”

Main Script.

Literal TL of karada no ichibu nano yo, megane wa. Since I hate literal TLs like I hate white cops, I probably would have went with “Losing those glasses was like losing an arm!” or “I can’t live without those glasses!”

“Fizz” makes me think of someone opening a bottle of pop. How about “Steam”?

That was Yuu saying that line, not Haruka, which will make this line completely different. Isn’t Japanese phun?

“Misato West High School”

“Head cheerleader”

Missed the “Fure! Fure! Fure!”

Either this is exactly how the scriptwriters respond to direct orders, or they think “hai” automatically means “yes.”

They were adapting the homophonic pun Yuzu-chan yuzutte. It might have worked if the first line wasn’t a bit too long for the time alotted.

Forgot to typeset the “rising” on that arrow.

I think the biggest clue that this episode title is wrong is that nobody mentions anything about any fucking promises in this episode. Doki wasn’t alone, though. Crunchyroll were the only people (“Essential Elements of Pool Cleaning”) who were in the right ballpark (though it still sucks). Yakusoku means “promise.” Oyakusoku means “running gag” or “a trope or typical happening you’ll find at a specified setting.” Since they’re cleaning the pool, expect horseplay, people relaxing while others work, and some alone time in the storage shed. So the title of the episode should be something like “What You’d Expect at a Pool Cleaning.” Also font, blur.

“Since the rest of us had paper…” Even if they knew what they were saying in this line, there was no need to scriptwrite it or whatever.

Not really a long talk. I just think it’s stupid to use a circlejerk site as your primary method of finding anime. It’s smarter to use a site where sucking up won’t get you anywhere, because that gives an even playing field.

The issue is that Nyaa’s a tracker too, so all the groups use it because of that. Back when scarywater was still around and Eclipse was still active (they had their own tracker), a lot of groups would only use torrent cataloguing sites like tokyotosho, baka-updates, and to some extent, animesuki. Now that Nyaa does both jobs of being tracker and catalogue, it’s bound to be the first port of call for most groups, despite its often biased judgement calls on what’s good and what isn’t.

Plus, their site doesn’t give me eye cancer. Doki are (almost?) literally the only group that snubs Nyaa (no big loss), whereas plenty of groups don’t bother with TT. I really don’t care about the A+ stuff; Nyaa just happens to give me a much better user experience.

You talk as if I have any stake in this. Doki hasn’t produced anything I find worth watching in forever, so I don’t miss their absence on Nyaa, whatever the reason behind it. Beyond that, I subjectively just find Nyaa to be the far superior site and TT to be mostly obsolete. Whatever drama or “corruption” happens there hasn’t affected my experience in the slightest.

Funny, my experience is quite the opposite. On TT I can see more info on each torrent, I use the ‘fold’ line to see where I was up to last, and I don’t have to look at the eye-cancer colors which only reveal who’s sucking up the most.

But yeah, your torrent client is full of Vivid, Commie, Underwater, FFF and other… SHIT (yeah worst groups all time, you are missing only CoalGuys and Hadena). You literally love americanized made up shit, so, well,
I’m not surprised that you don’t like Doki’s transaltions.

Doki was banned because of two things:
1. A translator by the name of ZeroYuki (the one who faked his death and caused a big stir in the fansubbing scene a while back), used Doki’s account to post troll releases on Nyaa. Nyaa told Holo, and Holo was able to get ZeroYuki to stop, but it was already considered a “warning” against Doki.
(ZeroYuki went on to translate for Oyatsu and another group, both of which are allowed on Nyaa.)
2. Power2All (Anirena Admin) and Sunny (editor at Doki at the time, and leader of Hina Fansubs, which is allowed on Nyaa), tried to get Nyaa’s domain revoked. Nyaa went to Holo to get him to fire them, but he refused (would firing them really get them to stop?), so he banned Doki.
While all three troublemakers are no longer at Doki, I doubt Nyaa will ever lift the ban.

Thanks for the details Zdm Should have just posted the question on Doki. Seems about as complicated and stupid as I would have expected. I seem to remember a death in the Doki group in the past. So the whole damn thing was a fake.

If you use Taiga to manage it for you, it should put them all in its own folder without any special setup, just one checkbox. I don’t know quite how it works because I don’t want uTorrent anywhere near my computer though.

Taiga does the same, though it looks like that lets you use multiple torrent sources at the same time, which would be nice. I tried MALUpdater though and the UI was just far too messy for me to bear looking at it for too long.

That’s basically the same thing as what I’m doing, except it combines all the different Nyaa feeds into one. Doesn’t let me set the downloads for each show to separate folders like my current solution does.

I’m perfectly content with my current solution, and I doubt I’d be able to improve it without some real automation (aggregating RSS feeds isn’t automation) or a torrent client that has the necessary features.

Why not just use an old version of utorrent? Don’t touch that new 3.x shit. The moment I saw that “Torrent of the Day” shit I said fuck this. I used to use nothing but 1.6.1 or 1.6.2, but then I couldn’t connect to peers at certain trackers, so I switched to the latest 2.x. Works perfectly for me. You can get it from filehippo. I’m using 2.2.1 build 25302.

Well I tried Deluge, but I can’t get it to recognize the necessary plugins. Even ran as admin since apparently someone hasn’t gotten the memo that they were supposed to put user-editable stuff in AppData, but even after I got it to save its settings, it still won’t recognize plugins. Tried both using the install dialog and dropping them in the folder and telling it to rescan. Do I need to reinstall the whole thing in AppData myself or something?

That’d only really work if the -chan was pronounced “chain”. It may work visually, but when in dialogue, you wouldn’t expect a character to pick it up or indeed the audience as they’re reading the subs.

The “Yuzu used” is a much better way of going about it, if the line was refined somewhat.
